Walked off stage for the first time ever...
So tonight I was doing a one night gig in a town just outside Winnipeg. This is a gig I usually love, the guys are cool, the staff is fun and its just chill(plus they let me do short sets!).
Well I was doing my second show, DJ announces me and no one claps. So I go on stage and jump up n down clapping my hands type deal trying to get guys into it.
No reaction.
I laugh and jokingly say 'you all suck'.
Buddy in front row looks at me and goes 'well what the fuck did you want us to do?'
Yea this was starting off in a bad way.
So show goes on and the girl goes on about how she thinks she could out dance me on the pole and I suck.
I ignore it..
Then as im doing my pole work they start throwing loonies(dollar coins) and quarters on the stage.
Again I ignore it.
Well they kept it up and started calling me a dirty whore.
So with my back to them they start throwing coins at me and I grab them tossing them over my shoulder.
They get pissed off and start screaming 'get this fat talentless bitch off stage she sucks!'
By this point the bouncer had warned them.
I got mad and climbed to the top of the pole and sat there with a scowl on my face.
Then they start throwing coins at my head.
I got pissed off and stormed off stage still in my thong and bra.
I sat in the stair well going upstairs bawling my eyes out.
They were kicked out(and banned) from the bar. As they were being tossed out they were screaming how the bar sucks and im an ugly slut and can't dance.
What the fuck ever.
Best part is as I was walking off stage this guy sitting at the side goes 'smartest thing you could do right now'.
EVERYONE was understanding.
The manager apologized to me and bought me a drink. I still got paid for my show and after I calmed down we were all laughing about it.
Still it sucks... i've never been so upset about a show before and the fact I had to walk off stage sucks.

*hugs* Some people get off on ruining a pretty girl's day.

Re: Walked off stage for the first time ever...
Damn. Maybe you can say you've seen it all now? That is just crazy. Kudos to you though for being so professional about it. You were absolutely justified in walking off.
Oh. Wait. Pat yourself on the back for being so freakin hott that your very presence on stage causes people to loose all sanity. Heh Heh.

Re: Walked off stage for the first time ever...
WTF. Aren't these guys supposed to be there for a good time? what is up with people!
:hugs: I'm sorry you had to put up with that crap :(
-
Re: Walked off stage for the first time ever...
You did the right thing, no one deserves to be treated or spoken to like that. It sucks that this happened to you but at least your strong enough to be laughing about it after. I'm surprised you managed to stay on the stage for so long! Sendin you out a wee hug:hug: xx

Re: Walked off stage for the first time ever...
Yeah. Some people are just wanting to see someone have a worse time then they are at the moment and get off on it. Since you are the unobtainable stripper all the better for them to sour grapes you. Some asshats even look to see if they can get the chick to fight.( sick)
You did the best thing.
Sorry it sucked. Karma.

Re: Walked off stage for the first time ever...
Oh I'm sorry baby, that sucks. At least the manager backed you up- imagine if they hadn't.
What's the gig called?
-
Re: Walked off stage for the first time ever...
I have seen plenty of rude behavior at the tiprail, trust me--but that's got to be the worst. So sorry you had to go through that. Didn't the DJ or bouncers notice what the assholes were doing, though? At least they backed you up later, though.

Re: Walked off stage for the first time ever...
Douchebags.
I've had the urge to plant my heel in someone's face before but this is just fucking unbelieveable.
Grr, I'm so mad now.
Anyways... they're obviously blind and I hope they fall in a snowdrift. Naked.
*hugs*

I'm just hoping I'm as 'fat and talentless' as you one day. They are just twats wouldn't lose any sleep over it x

Re: Walked off stage for the first time ever...
Yeah..if that's fat and talentless, count me in! Sheesh.
-
Re: Walked off stage for the first time ever...
I'm sorry, thats just ridiculous. I wouldn't have even made it that long on stage with people treating me like that.
I agree with whoever said they're obviously blind, and hope they fall in a snowdrift naked...but I'll add...then the plow truck comes by and plows mucky gross slush over them.

Re: Walked off stage for the first time ever...
Are you kidding me? Who the fuck does that... throw peices of metal at a person's head... Were they raised in a barn? >:( I'm so sorry this happened to you!

Re: Walked off stage for the first time ever...
What ridiculous cunt-monkeys.
Cally, if I had your body and talent, I'd never put my clothes on. I'm throwing my vote in for them ending up naked in a snowdrift.

Coincidentally, I was talking about you last night at work to two Canadian customers- I told them how you showed me a scar from where a customer had heated up a loonie coin with his lighter and threw it at you onstage.
& I always thought Canada was the Land of Un-Naturally Polite People...
There will always be rotten shitty people who key cars randomly, heckle others for no reason, and be full of hate....You don't have to feel sorry for them but be glad you're not one of them.
PS And you probably make more money annually than your hecklers. Heh. That ought to make you feel better.

Re: Walked off stage for the first time ever...
Don't you just love people who feel so bad about themselves that they have to come to a strip club and try and humiliate dancers to make them selves feel better?
Bravo to you for being the mature adult, you handled the situation perfectly.
I wish I was as fat and talentless as you. Sheesh! What twatwaffles!

Um...wow. i don't even know what to say. WTF is wrong with people.

Re: Walked off stage for the first time ever...
that makes me so MAD!!!! What the hell were those morons thinking? It's hard enough to get up on stage and dance in front of everyone. Let alone having to deal with people yelling at you and being rude.
Congrats on keeping your cool. I don't think I would have been so calm. My temper would have came out something fierce.

Re: Walked off stage for the first time ever...
:hug: Fuck them. Hope tonight goes better for you.

Re: Walked off stage for the first time ever...
Sorry to hear these people were such asses to You. Cleary they feel so bad about their selfs they need to try and look "cool" by putting someone as talented and as beautiful as You down.

Re: Walked off stage for the first time ever...
That's a terrible way to act - and the customer was right. It was the best thing you could do. I mean - there is no way that you could deal with that, and finishing the show under those conditions would be bad for you AND the bar.
And a civvie girl thinking she could outdance you on the pole? Pshaw. Just goes to show how you make it look so damn easy. As for being fat - you're tiny. You're pixie sized. I could probably fit you in a knapsack and carry you around if either of us were inclined to do something so peculiar.

Re: Walked off stage for the first time ever...
I wish you could have invited the tip rail chick up to show her stuff. She'd have been like Carrie on King of Queens. You're a pro, Cally, I think I would have been crying long before...:hug:
Also, this is no doubt why America can't replace the dollar bill completely with coins!

Re: Walked off stage for the first time ever...
Im sorry. Thats pretty fuckin ridiculous. :(
Glad they banned them though. Keep your chin up. Assholes like that are a dime a dozen.

Re: Walked off stage for the first time ever...
Agreed with Jenny. :)
"Oh yes, you stupid bitch... you could totally hold your entire body weight on your arms while hanging upside down on a pole, doing the splits, and looking sexy at the same time... totally. Can't everyone??" >:(
